Default Speaking of VAG-COM...

Does it matter if it's a serial or usb port. Which VAG-COM cable do I need? KKL or 311.2??

Default Well...

With serial ports (RS-232) becoming harder and harder to find on newer laptops I would go with a USB cable. Other than the PC interface, there is no difference as far as VAG-COM is concerned.

Ross-tech does not guarantee the operation of a serial cable with a USB->Serial converter.

Also, I beleive the VAG-COM software (newer versions) will only work with Ross-Tech/VAG-COM cables... So do not think you can get away buying a cheapy from ebay.

Definetly a worth while investment for VAG family vehicle owners.

Regards,
Gavin
